'''{{tp|su}}''' is a [[nonstandard]] [[question]]-marking [[particle]].
 
==Etymology==
{{Needs work|scope=section}}
{{Empty}}
The particle {{tp|su}} is derived from the {{w|Esperanto}} interrogative particle ''{{lang|eo|{{wikt|ĉu#Esperanto|ĉu}}}}'' {{IPA|/t͡ʃu/}}.{{citation needed|date=2024-02-04}} <!--It was coined by [whom?] in [when?].-->
 
This word was coined{{wh|by whom?|date=2024-04-08}} before those [[Reserved words|reserved for future use]] by {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}},{{citation needed|date=2024-01-17}} of which {{tp|[[su]]}} was one.<ref>{{cite ku|351}}</ref> Combined with the fact that it is nonstandard and absent from {{tok|[[Linku]]}}, the particle {{tp|su}} is likely to fall out of use after the release of the book series {{su}}. Similar, though less severe, conflicts apply to {{tp|[[lu]]}} (conflicting with a synonym of {{tp|[[lo]]}}) and {{tp|[[nu]]}} (conflicting with a synonym of {{tp|[[sin]]}}).

The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyph for {{tp|su}} ({{sp|su2}}) is derived from that of {{tp|[[anu]]}}, with the dot from {{tp|[[seme]]}} ({{tpsp|seme}}), itself depicting a question mark.
